Backache

(Following Excerpt from AHRQ for page " Low Back Pain ")

Acute low back problems, the subject of this Clinical Practice Guideline, are experienced by almost everyone at some time in their adult lives. Back problems rank high among the reasons for physician office visits and are costly in terms of medical treatment, time lost from work, and nonmonetary costs such as diminished ability to perform or enjoy usual activities. For persons under age 45, low back problems are the most frequent cause of disability.
